the best class of my college career: the indian himalaya

While my physical travels are long over, nothing about September-December of 2011 will ever leave me.

I would like to start a small documentation of what happened in that time period (maybe mostly pictures, maybe some words).


I spent the first month and a half studying in the Indian Himalayas. What does that mean you ask? I had no clue either but here is a glimpse of what turned out to be the best class of my college career:









Student presentations:
Each student taught one class session on
a topic of their choice relating to India, the Himalaya, ecology, culture or any mix.



The most hands-on lecture you'll ever find.
This class session was spent learning about the geology of when India crashed into Asia and produced the mountains we were sitting in.












Our midterm exam was administered in the 100 year old home of the late king of the Valley.
